My apologies for not posting this morning. The studio's internet connection has been going in and out all day, as sometimes happens in stormy weather. This is the first time I've been able to connect with Typepad (which hosts this blog) -- just as I close up shop for the evening.

I'll be back in the studio tomorrow.

Update Wednesday morning: I'm still having internet connectivity problems, and I'm unable to load imagery to this blog this morning. I hope to be able to post later today when (or if?) the internet signal stabilizes. Please check back!

"A writer -- and, I believe, generally all persons -- must think that whatever happens to him or her is a resource. All things have been given to us for a purpose, and an artist must feel this more intensely. All that happens to us, including our humiliations, our misfortunes, our embarrassments, all is given to us as raw material, as clay, so that we may shape our art." - Jorge Luis Borges

"Storytellers ought not to be too tame. They ought to be wild creatures who function adequately in society. They are best in disguise. If they lose all their wildness, they cannot give us the truest joys."
